    I love fairy lights, I have them out the front and on the terrace, they brighten up the grey city

    I use a few 5m rolls of 12v 5050 warm led tape. They’re about $5 a roll on aliexpress. Really add a lot of diffused light to a room. I originally got them for bush doof lighting, but I think doofs have had their time and/or are too expensive.

  Sunset in northern Europe (London etc) during their winter solstice is like 4pm. Now that’s depressing, no idea how I would handle that.

    I winter the European cities are all decorated for Christmas which is really nice.

  Have you considered high dose Vit D and a blue light lamp used at times the sun would be shining? Could be a spot of SAD

    I wouldn’t say I’m sad, just don’t have the same energy levels. Still… probably wouldn’t hurt to look into vitamin D.

      Oh sorry - it’s an acronym en.wikipedia.org/…/Seasonal_affective_disorder

      where the lack of sunlight and circadian rhythm stuff messes with your mood, including low energy

  Miss Seagoon spent some time living on the Arctic Circle. She kept to a clock timetable, kept busy and enjoyed the auroras.
